Just thought I'd ask a quick question.
How is it that everybody (except me) knows that all the important characters in DA are heading West after DA:I? I must have missed a memo about that, or just don't remember. I bet I just don't remember, lol. Brain fail....
no, no. I'm with you on missing that detail but rely that everyone is right.

In the epilogue it mentions either the survivor of Adamant - Hawke/Warden Friend - go out west. Then we know from the letters if you do the HoF(if they were still alive in you PT) they are heading west to address the calling. Solas is heading west from the letter we get from Leliana. There's the weirdo forest, sulfur marshes, and the gloriously bizarre town of Seuralt out west(from the Last Court). West is where it is at, my friend.

I'm starting to feel like Western Thedas is basically Kirkwall in terms of crazy and bad, just spread out a over a larger area than one city. As if Thedas needed another armpit.
Neither was I. Less for the kerfluffle that you mentioned on the Cullen thread, and more because my Amell was...actually kind of a horrible brat in her youth. Think James Potter before he reformed. So she teased Cullen mercilessly despite not being into him; she just thought his crush on her was funny. That made for some spectacular "OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE" when she saw him in Broken Circle, and she basically ran away because she didn't know what to say.
I'd like to think that now, ten years down the line, Cullen and Amell/Surana who are in relationships with other people could be friends. He's over the crush, she's no longer drowning in darkspawn, they're both badass grownups now.
The fic was written well, but Cullen was certainly written differently than how he actually is. It actually almost made me cry because of how my own past was, and how the IQ was written in those scenes. Lol, and I'm not one to cry easy.
I would hope that they could be friends. I know that the established Cullen would never venture out from the IQ, but ugh. I am just glad a Cousland is my canon and that she is happily married to Alistair.
No need to defend Zevran, but he just is only half the fun without the flirting. And I had maxed his approval, like with the others, too. I always play for full approval because in DA your people either love (or hate for DA2) you or you are locked out of content. For example he won't tell me anything about the assumed betraying but falsely accused love of his. And that is an important part of his character after all. Still, I only learn it when romancing him. Similarly I will only get the cookie scene, which explains everything about Sera, if I am on good terms with her already anyway.In defence of Zevran he only has nothing to say if you don't get his approval rating up, and that is the same with many of the characters, Sten is one who really springs to mind: "Care to talk?" "No". First time I never got Sten up high enough for him to divulge about his sword. There are some things Zevran will only talk about if you are romanced but I still got the confession about his reason for taking the mission as a friend.
There is no "better" I think. One way you leave him be what he is but condemn him to stay isolated, the other way you change him but help him get integrated. It's like Bull's quest, he will be content with both. It is your moral choice, you "win" or "lose" the same either way.So a little off topic. Does anyone know if it is better to make Cole human rather than a spirit? I always end up making him a spirit because Solas says so...
That's fairly simple: by being a shameless flirt. Whatever, whoever, you flirt your way through Thedas and all off a sudden they don't want your money or connections anymore but your body alone.Aaaah, Minister Bellise. So that's the noble you can screw! I was wondering about that. How exactly does one come to this arrangement, exactly? Completely out of curiosity you understand. One must protect their ambassador, after all. XD

You know you're excited.
Though I would be more hyped if we had sarcastic!hawke in tow. I love the middle option for my Quizzy, but it's missing the same umph.

Needs more cheese. Nothing is as cheesy as hawke.

Kirkwall is For Lovers:

The middle option fits my Lavellan pretty well; she's much too shy to be trollish like Hawke. But I do wish the sarcastic option existed for my Adaar. Oh well, Jon Curry's "WTF ARE YOU EVEN" deadpan is pretty glorious too.
God, I miss DA2 sometimes. It had its problems, but it was such an interesting deconstruction of BioWare's previous games, and RPGs in general. I tried to replay it and I just can't after killing off my canon Hawke. I hear the Hawke/Amell theme, and I just want to cry. The whole struggle in Kirkwall, her relationship with Anders...it's just too hard to play knowing how it's going to end.
I would lIke to see how good Anders and Fenris would look in our new game, that's for sure.
I want to see Zev. hhhhhhngh.
Just saying, Solas, if Zev turns up in the new engine looking all fine and Antivan, and there hasn't been Wolf Hunt DLC yet...I cannot be held responsible for my actions

Regarding Trollish Hawke - I guess that's true. I did smile the times the midddle option got me "Solas Slightly Approves" but I don't think he would appreciate you being an ******* in really dire situations. Though, I did laugh pretty hard when I was snarking at Fiona as she's dying in her cell. It was so inappropriate.
I loved/hated DA2's gameplay but hated pretty much every character - minus Varric/Aveline. Everyone else annoyed the ****** out of me but I still loved that they felt like friends. So I still love revisiting it.

OMG, Fiona. I totally took that option with Adaar, and it was glorious. I know people like her, but I just cannot stand her, and I'm glad she's not at Skyhold in my Lavellan's playthrough.
DA2's cast is still one of my favorite ensembles, just because they're SO nutters butters, but they're still kind of this weird family that looks out for each other. They were so terrible, but I still loved them. Even Anders, and I swing pretty wildly between sympathy for him and wanting to hold his head in a gutter.

Ugh. I will join you on the Fiona hate train. For me it was, "You're the head of the mage rebellion???!!!!? Lord, no wonder it's in dire straits."[didn't Solas say something to that effect when he meets her. i feel like he's aghast at her at some point]. I was so all about Vivienne snarking about her dementia.

There's the weirdo forest, sulfur marshes, and the gloriously bizarre town of Seuralt out west(from the Last Court). West is where it is at, my friend.
Wait, I thought they headed toward Weisshaupt and disappeared? 
And Weisshaupt is just a teensy bit more west than Val Royeaux, it's just really far up north. Or did my myopic eyes lie to me about my epilogue? 
I got the feeling Solas shrugged off Leliana's agents quickly. So he could be heading anywhere except Ferelden and the Korcari Wilds, really. But Tirashan seems more likely than most.
The Hero of Ferelden going West to stop the Calling is all kinds of weird. And I just don't see how it can be done. It would take the powers of a god or something for the Wardens to be able to manipulate the Taint like that without blood magic...
..Eeep.
You know how earlier we were discussing the elves finding a place that doesn't border a human kingdom to avoid a repeat of the Dales?
Why not some abandoned elf territory in the far west, accessible only by elves through the eluvian network or by marching through the Sea of Ash and Tirashan and Hunterhorn Mountains?
Oh my stars and garters Solas going to set up the New Dales is my new favorite headcanon. He's assessing real-estate. 
Breaking old barriers. Hanging out with Anaris!Abelas!
I wish there were more opportunities for sarcasm in DA:I. My Lavellan is much more trollish than my virtuous Hawke. I can understand why they didn't go the route considering they gave us two speaking voice options. But I do wish they had committed a bit more to the character responses. Most of them feel a bit more neutral. Even more neutral than they do in mass effect.

Where were you this morning for the insanity of the West talk, Caddius??? We missed you. If you look at the map the anderfels(Weisshaupt) is way North West. North of Tirashan.

Solas: Dude, you think Lavellan would like this house? It's got 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a pool.
Abelas: I dunno man, she does own her own castle. Maybe something a little bigger?
